My first experience was the Ready Player duology by Ernest Cline and the This Trilogy is Broken 4 book series by JP Valentine. I’ve also had many recommendations for Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman.

The Ready Player series was basically an ok story with a “hey, remember this thing from the 80’s‽” through-line. And while some of the jokes felt forced, the Valentine Series overall was a ton of fun and I couldn’t stop reading it.

What else have you really enjoyed? (This genre lends itself towards a couple of Bingo squares too. )

    Cradle series by Will Wight is in that genre without being steeped in idiosyncratic Chinese culture.
